Snaith in fast Lane to the UK

Justin Snaith will have his first runner outside South Africa next year when In The Fast Lane races for him in England.
The four-year-old, winner of last season’s Avontuur Estate Cape Fillies Guineas and Woolavington, went into quarantine last Friday and will spend the mandatory 90 days in Mauritius before being flown to Britain, writes Michael Clower for Gold Circle. 


Snaith said today: “She will have the winter in the UK and then we will race her there next season with me as the trainer. It’s very exciting.”


The champion trainer confirmed that others in his string will follow and in the meantime he is to open a satellite yard in Johannesburg next May to enable him to plunder the big prizes at Turffontein.


He explained: “They won’t allow us to have any more stables in Port Elizabeth so I have to look elsewhere. It’s getting harder in PE every month but at this stage I plan to keep the operation there. I will have 26 boxes in Jo’burg.”


Legislate is bound for export rather than Johannesburg, after running in the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and the J & B Met, but he is still on the easy list after his rough passage when winning the Vodacom Durban July.


Snaith said: “We are taking our time with him and he is not yet back working. People don’t realise just how hard a race he had in the July. His legs were very sore afterwards with all the bumping and interference he suffered. There are no plans yet but he will probably start off in something like the Jet Master Stakes at Kenilworth on 20 December.”
